Johann Heinrich Hartleben, his wife Johanna, son (Johann [Jakob], age 6), and [step-]children (Johann [Meier], age 18; Franz [Meier], age 14) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Gabriel Wild.
Heinrich Hartleber [sic], a farmer, his wife Dorothea, and son Heinrich Jakob (age 8) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 33 along with Dorothea's sons from a previous marriage (Heinrich Meier, age 18; Franz Joseph Meier, age 15). [See Meier Family.]
The 1798 census of Schaffhausen records single Jakob Hartleben from Meinhard in Household No. Sh49.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where the Hartleben family came. The 1767 census records that Heinrich Hartleber [sic] came from the German village of Clausthal.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hartleben family among the Volga German colonies.
